u-sd card. I found some docs on the net, but none of what the docs are 
talking about seem to be on the sd card.

I took me about 2 hours to dismantle it and get all the cables routed, 
the another hour to get the crossbar square so the bed could actually be 
adjusted, then another hour to get pla installed, it flat refused to 
feed beyond the pinchers output guide, detecting a jam and backing out 
then trying again.  Apparently forever. Finally cut the end at a high 
angle and spun it till it finally went it.

No high speed feed, so it was another 20 minutes to get the shadow to the 
top of the extruder.  It had a gcode file on the sd card so I started 
that but it was at 3% when the pla finally made it to the nozzle, but it 
bounced off the hot plate, making 6 or 7" of curly pigtail waving 
around. Hit stop. I think I'll see if I can get some sleep.  I've heard 
of folks washing the bed with booze for better adhesion, but 45C doesn't 
appear to be warm enough for even that to work well..  How hot do others 
run the bed with PLA?

Thanks Andy.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
